WFP suspends humanitarian activities in South Darfur locality
September 23, 2009 (KHARTOUM) — The World Food Programme (WFP) suspended today its humanitarian activities in a southern Darfur locality following a carjacking of two trucks last week.
The two trucks on contract to the World Food Programme (WFP) carrying food items from El Obeid to El Daein were carjacked on September 17 by gunmen about80 kilometres from Al Deain, South Darfur.
The WFP has suspended its activities in and around Adilla locality in South Darfur, about 400 kilometres from El Fasher, said the hybrid peacekeeping mission in Darfur.
The vehicles, which had been carrying foodstuff for about 10,000 children, were carjacked by armed men about 80 kilometres from Al Deain, South Darfur on the way from El Obeid.
Government of Sudan (GoS) police and Humanitarian Affairs Commission (HAC) officials negotiated the release of the drivers, but the stolen items were not recovered. UNAMID forces in the area are continuing to monitor these developments.
